What do America’s coffee preferences look like on a map? Why don’t young farmers get insured? Why aren’t we already drinking maple water? And how can food serve as, ahem, an olive branch? This and more in what our editors are reading this week.

Counter Culture Coffee’s new Nolita space represents an innovative concept in the coffee world. The former carriage house is not a coffee shop, nor is it a retail outlet. The mission? Simply teaching people how to make good coffee.

The next installment in our How-To series will help you master home coffee-making. The experts from Dallis Bros. will show you how to pull shots of espresso, Blue Bottle will talk about better brewing methods, and Gorilla will show you how to roast beans in an ordinary frying pan.
